Spring and autumn usually sit somewhere in between, so it's really the extremes of the year worth watching. There's a clear yearly cycle to air quality in Tenterden if you look closely. The coldest months usually bring the worst readings, as heating and temperature inversions keep A40 emissions from dispersing normally. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days.
Are air quality levels in Tenterden based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
